The script only temporarily disables xbmc's own sleep. This means that you have to set sleep timer in the XBMC settings separately ... I'm not sure where in settings it is exactly.

System/Settings > System > Power saving > "Shutdown function timer" and "Shutdown function"

Hi,
i have the problem, that it doesn't work anymore. i just installed my archlinux new, but the plugin fails during the startup:

Error
Scrippt failed! : inhibit_shutdown.py

do you have any idea? or is there an alternative plugin/script?
I use xbmc 12.2-5 (compiled: Jul 26 2013)

thanks!

There should be a python backtrace from the add-on somewere in the logs. Without it I have just one idea -- is netstat installed and accessible as /bin/netstat ?

I think this is the relevant part from the log file. I can even send you the whole log-file if needed.

EDIT:
I installed netstat-nat. But that is the wrong package. After installing the package net-tools, i don't get a error anymore.
thanks for your help!

Hi guys!
I needed this feature too.
Here is the my approach to solve this for SSH:
prevent suspend while ssh session is active
Works really robust and simple (no add-ons needed).
Welcome!
